Ground improvement/works thread


Recommended Posts

So is the Kirkintilloch No.1 tenancy up for grabs.
OG Broomhill must be fancied for a wee look.
Clyde?
Possibly one of the Rossvale factions.
Maybe a women's team.
All of the above?

Clyde currently aiming to get control of Crownpoint in the east end. Glasgow City rumoured to be one of the interested parties.

This has been flaged up on the NLM site:

https://troonfootballclub.co.uk/planning-permission-granted/#more-9448

Part reads:

We now have permission to erect floodlights at Portland Park, construct a Multi-Use Games Area and expand our car parking to bring our ground right into the 21st century.

This will also see us embark on the long path to achieve our SFA licence, hopefully in time to see it ratified by the end of this season which will enable Troon Football Club to enter next season’s Scottish Cup alongside the biggest clubs in Scotland.

Straight head to head with Finnart Star for the Crownpoint gig.

Clyde offered to amalgamate the bids with Finnart Star to do a groundshare.

Finnart Star according to the Clyde supporters in the know said NO.

I wonder why that was.

Because it would be like handcuffing yourself to an anchor and jumping in to deep water.

Tbf Clyde FC haven't owned a home ground since 1932 when the greyhounds (the dugs) took over Shawfield.

For a week in 1970, it looked like they would own the original Douglas Park after "merging" with Hamilton Accies. Accies shareholders fought back with a new board being formed, and the SFL allowed them back in after the club had officially resigned from the league. I think the county council then bought the ground instead to clear the debts, and Accies bought it back again a few years later. The Dunns had no luck on engineering that merger but did manage to later take over Robertsons of Springwell. Think it maybe says something about where Clyde fit in Scottish football's pecking order slightly over 50 years on that it is now Finnart they are competing with where a ground of their own is concerned.

Kirkintilloch's new ground (assuming KRR do get access OK) will no doubt have the devil's lanterns. 99% sure I saw it mentioned on here that Hurlford had a public meeting about going for licensing, so that probably just leaves Beith and Arthurlie as not being known to be going for it?

Hurlford public meeting was advertised about 4 month ago, maybe less ?. Think is wasn't just about SFA license but that was main topic.  I've not heard anything else on the matter or what happened at the meeting.  Anyone shed any light on it?
